Fabric of A Life

When you knock, ask to see God - none of the servants. - Thoreau

we knew he was happy

and all was right with the world

as winds of time paused with a swirl

he was humming psalms

and strumming air

despite life not playing fair

he knew his god was still there

what's more, he knew that he'd heard his prayer

he no longer had much hair

nary a care

because truth is breathable

and easy to wear

Author's Note

"It is not when I am going to meet him, but when I am just turning away and leaving him alone, that I discover what God is. I say, God. I am not sure that that is the name. You will know what I mean." - Thoreau
